THE MISSION STATEMENT
OF EQUAL PARENTS' WEEK

"If we as a society fail to recognize that there is no substitute
for the love of a parent in children's lives, and there is no substitute
for the equal presence of both parents in children's lives to meet their
children's need for that love, we have lost the ability to see, feel and
touch the very thing we live, feel and breathe as the heart and soul of our
humanity: our own human love. This is what we mean when we say 'The
Best Parent Is Both Parents'."
